My first plugin in conflict with my torrents - solved (1 Viewer)

[aasmund Nordal]

Hello. I have never tried programing before and I hate matematics so I don`t know if I am able to learn it but it would be very cool to make plugins for mediaportal.

So I tried to folow the guide but when I created a new project I got this code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ourplugin
{
    public class Class1
    {
    }
}

instead of this code from the guide:

namespace OurPlugin

{

/// <summary>

/// Summary description for Class1.

/// </summary>

public class Class1

{

public Class1()

{

//

// TODO: Add constructor logic here

//

}

}

}

Is this becouse I use visual studio 2005 and not 2003?

its basically the same, everything behind the /// is a comment and can be deleted.

but the constructor is missing.
a constructor is a function with the same name as the class it is located in.

so,,, How to I put the constructor in the code?

I tried to copy the ..todo thing, but I just got errors.

The constructor is simply:

public <class name>
{

}

where <class name> is the name of your class. It has to be placed within the curly brackets of the class declaration.

The constructor is simply:

public <class>
{

}

where <class> is the name of your class. It has to be placed within the curly brackets of the class declaration.

Sam

public <class>()
{

}
dont forget the brackets

Finaly I got things working a bit more,,
I had to use a big "C" when using it`s name.
Among other things.

But now I have another problem.
When I try to modefy the code to use the xml skin file I get an error:
ourplugin.Class1 does not implement interface member mediaportal.GUI.libary.ISetupForm.GetWindowid()

The guide wants me to have a space in "mediaportal" so it`s media portal, But the program gave me an error: "; expected" so I just wrote mediaportal.

Could this be the reason?

Btw: thank you so far. I was very happy when I got a first bit of the plugin to work, even if it does nothing

You need to end each line of code with a semi colan: ;

I would sugest you also search the web for a tutorial on C# programming, to learn some basics.

And have fun learning to programm!

Wel, I now I know some of the basic's.
Stuff like "hello World" some calculations, the if else thing and some other things.

I tried the guide again and it works And now I can try to do stuff when I press the buttons. That must be the best motivation for me to study further.

There is just one problem. When I use my torrents plugin I can't use my plugin. When I start the "my plugin" it opens my torrents.
And the plugin becomes a process plugin acording to mediaportal setup.

Could this be becouse fcsobel who made the torrent plugin pherhaps used the mediaportal guide?
If so, I gues I need to change something.

If this is the reason I wil ask fcsobel for the source and compere.
